Marcela, 21 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Marcela, a bright and driven young woman from South America, has made impressive strides in her new home. In an attempt to overcome language barriers, she has committed herself to English classes at community college, in hopes of achieving the proficiency needed to begin her higher education. She recently secured a position at Burlington Coat Factory, a significant accomplishment she's truly enjoying as she continues to forge her path forward.

Marcela is currently facing a significant challenge: she desperately needs a new pair of glasses. Her previous pair was stolen, leaving her without the vision correction she relies on daily. This has led to difficulty seeing clearly and frequent, painful headaches from straining her eyes. Replacing her glasses isn't just about comfort; it's essential for her well-being, her ability to succeed in her college courses, and to perform her job effectively at Burlington Coat Factory.
